A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered stroke endings that broaden into subtle flares rather than blunt slabs. Serifs feel sharp and lightly bracketed, with a calligraphic logic in the joins and terminals. Uppercase forms are stately and open, with round letters showing smooth, near-vertical stress and clean curves; diagonals stay slender and precise. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with generous counters and slender stems, producing an even, airy texture in text. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and tapered finishing, with old-style elegance in their curves and proportions.
Well-suited to editorial design, long-form reading, and book or magazine typography where a refined serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in display roles—headlines, pull quotes, and cultured branding—where the crisp contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is cultured and polished, evoking traditional book typography and contemporary magazine sophistication. Its fine contrast and flared finishing give it a poised, fashion-forward feel while still reading as classically rooted. The rhythm in paragraphs comes across calm and literary, with a touch of formality.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a more modern, tapered finishing, aiming for elegance and clarity in both text and display settings. The flared stroke endings and controlled contrast suggest a focus on sophisticated editorial tone and premium typographic color.
In the sample text, the spacing and counters create a bright page color, and the thin hairlines become a prominent stylistic feature at display sizes. Curved terminals and flared ends add personality without becoming ornamental, helping the design feel premium while remaining restrained.
